Informally, offering crowd view, after stripping (7)
I believe the answer is:
pressie
'informally offering' is the definition.
(informal term for a present, an offering)
'crowd view after stripping' is the wordplay.
'crowd' becomes 'press' (press is a kind of crowd).
'after stripping' indicates the central letters (the word is stripped of its external letters).
The centre of 'view' is 'ie'.
'press'+'ie'='PRESSIE'
(Other definitions for pressie that I've seen before include "Gift (colloq.)" , "Something freely given" , "Informally, offering" .)
